Although I am five weeks late in dealing with the subject of this commentary and recognizing that others have commented contemporaneously on the matter (I do not read such commentaries so as to maintain the independence of my own work but sometimes see that these have been published), I nevertheless want to offer my own commentary about the address that Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV delivered to “Orthodox Christians” from the United States of American in presence of “Metropolitan Elpidiophoros and the egregious support of the sodomite agenda, Joseph “Cardinal” Tobin, the conciliar “archbishop” of Newark, New Jersey.

That anyone within the “resist while recognize” movement is still squinting for the “hidden Catholicism” in Prevost/Leo’s addresses, homilies, and actions after an address the false “pontiff” delivered on Thursday, July 17, 2025, the Feast of Saint Alexius and, in some places, the Feast of the Humility of the Blessed Virgin Mary, demonstrates a total unwillingness to recognize that no true Successor of Saint Peter has spoken of the heretical and schismatic Orthodox sect as the conciliar “popes” have done and continue to do.

Another original commentary should appear tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Bartholomew and the Commemoration of the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost.

Our Lady of Dolors, pray for us.

Saint Philip Benizi, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to which the month of August is devoted, that heart that was pierced with Seven Swords of Sorrow during the Life of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed out of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These twin hearts of matchless love suffered as one and they beat as one while on earth and they have beat as one in Heaven since Our Lady was Assumed into Heaven body and soul after her death.

Our Lady's Immaculate Heart was unstained by Original Sin or Actual Sins. The Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, therefore, was capable of a purity of love of God and of her fellow men that is almost indescribable. Our Lady's Most Pure, Most Holy Heart despises the sins that caused her Divine Son to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death but at the same time is full of a perfect and completely pure maternal compassion for erring sinners such as you and me.

Our Lord, showing us His infinite compassion for us erring sinners, has sent us His Most Blessed Mother to provide us with her maternal assistance to get home to Heaven as members of His true Church founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope.

We have been given the Rosary, the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, the Miraculous Medal, and the Green Scapular through her loving hands, through which flow the graces won for us by the shedding of Our Lord's Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross.

Her apparition to Juan Diego and the miraculous image of herself she left on his tilma helped to convert millions of Indians to the true Faith in the Americas.

Our Lady ratified Pope Pius IX's solemn proclamation of her Immaculate Conception by proclaiming herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous to be the Immaculate Conception on March 25, 1858. And Our Lady's appearance in the Cova da Iria from May 13, 1917, to October 13, 1917, gave us Heaven's Peace Plan, one that runs through her Immaculate Heart.

We must endeavor at all times to fulfill, as far as we are able in this time of apostasy and betrayal, Our Lady's Fatima Message in our own lives, especially by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit and by living penitentially as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart.

The era of apostasy and betrayal will end when the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is made manifest. We can play our roles, small though they may be, in helping to bring about this triumph.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Saints Timothy, Hippolytus, and Symphorian, pray for us.

Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV gave a general audience address eight days ago, that is, on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, the Feast of Saints Hippolytus and Cassian and, in some places, the Feast of Our Lady Refuge of Sinners, in which he discussed the reasons, albeit couched in conciliarspeak that has nothing to do with the traditional language used by the Catholic Church, why Judas Iscariot lost his salvation that has excited those who are reading the antipapal tea leaves in heightened states of expectation as though they are looking for the hidden features in Highlights Magazine for Children.

However, what the antipapal exegetes are not discussing much is that God neither avenges nor punishes sin.

Heresy.

Half of this commentary deals with false “pontiff’s” softened approach to the damnation of Judas Iscariot while the other half provides proof about the fact that God does avenge sin and punishes sinners because He loves them and wants them to turn to Him through His true Church by means an integral Confession of their sins in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance and to make reparation for those sins thereafter.

As I have family duties that will eat up a great deal of my day today, I do not know whether I can complete the next original article, which also deals with Robert Leo Prevost/Leo XIV, in time to be published along with my annual reflection on the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but I will try.

Finally, I only found late last evening that, remarkably, President Donald John Trump is concerned about his salvation. He made the comments when he phoned to a program called “Fox and Friends,” with which I am entirely unfamiliar, on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, the Feast of Saint John Eudes.

Trump explained that one of his motivations in securing a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, whose forces are still savagely attacking civilian population centers in Ukraine, is that he thinks that such a deal might help him go to Heaven:

“I want to try and get to heaven, if possible,” he explained. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” (‘I Want to Try and Get to Heaven’: Trump Gets Reflective on ‘Fox & Friends’. The news story itself makes an irreverent reference to the Mother God.)

This is a remarkable admission from President Donald John Trump as it shows humility and something approaching contrition without knowing how to get himself straight with Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Christ. I will have a commentary about this early next week.

Please continue to pray to Our Lady for President and Mrs. Trump’s complete and unconditional conversion to the Catholic Church.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, pray for us.

This is a brief reflection about Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who almost single-handedly revived devotion to Our Lady in the Twelfth Century and fought heresy with her maternal help and protection.

A new commentary is being written and should be published late this afternoon.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, pray for us.

This is a very long commentary about the Russo-Ukrainian War and President Donald John Trump’s to end it.

As the situation is fraught with complexity and intrigue and not easily reduced to simple summaries nor easy solutions (the road to an actual peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine will be very hard to traverse), I have included summaries of the more recent history that led up to the present conflict but, very importantly, the history of Russia’s longstanding persecution of Catholics in Ukraine and Pope Pius XII’s firm denunciation of such persecuted is included in Appendix B, which follows an appendix containing a brief reflection about the Apostle of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, Saint John Eudes.

Our Lady of Ukraine, pray for us.

Saint John Eudes, pray for us.

Today, Sunday, August 17, 2025, is the Commemorated Feast of Feast of Saint Hyacinth, O.P., the great Apostle of the Northland and one of the first members of the Order of Preachers founded by Saint Dominic de Guzman. (Today is also the third day within the Octave of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Octave Day of Saint Lawrence the Deacon.)

Saint Hyacinth's great zeal for souls and his desire to convert pagans out of their diabolical superstitions into the true Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. Saint Hyacinth, who had such a great and abiding love for Our Lady, who favored him with apparitions, stands in quite a contrast with the late Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and his successor, the equally late and entirely non-lamented demon by the name Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Both of these heretics praised the very false religions that Saint Hyacinth—and every other Catholic missionary—sought to eradicate from the face of the earth by seeking the unconditional conversion of their adherents to the false religion. The difference between Saint Hyacinth's fidelity and apostasy of the conciliar "popes" is stark. It is right there in black and white for all who have the grace to see, and Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV is carrying on this "tradition" very diligently.

An original article, Boy, If Only Leo Knew, Huh?, part five, was published around 2:30 a.m. today

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth, O.P., pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Deacon, pray for us.

It is enough to write an original article for posting at a late/early hour without having to write an extensive introduction.

Suffice it to say that this commentary is about Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s false conciliar sect and its continued embrace of the lavender agenda (and the protection it affords to those within their ranks who practice it) and connection between efforts by various conciliar “bishops'” hatred for anything remoting resembling Catholic Tradition, which is antithetical to their support of sodomy and sodomites.

I need to spend some time revising my annual reflection about Saint Hyacinth, the Apostle to the Northland. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth, pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Martyr, pray for us.

Saint Joachim, the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and the Mediatrix of All Graces, knew the contempt that would be visited upon His Divine Grandson, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, sent himself into voluntary exile after he was denounced by a priest of the Old Dispensation for not producing a child after twenty years of marriage to his wife, our good Saint Anne.

It was during his exile that Saint Joachim was visited by an angel, who reminded him of the fact that Abraham's wife, Sarah, did not conceive a child until she was ninety years old, telling him that his wife, Saint Anne, would conceive a daughter named Mary, who would be the Mother of God. Saint Joachim and Saint Anne brought their daughter to the Temple when she was three years old, giving their long-awaited child back to the good God Who had given them to her so that she could be the Mother of their own Saviour, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This should teach us to do everything possible to foster vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated religious life among our children, so that we can give them back to God so as to yield a spiritual bounty of souls in His service, especially in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

The next new article is being written. My continuing sickness continues to vary in intensity from one day to the next. Please bear with me. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joachim, pray for us.

Saint Anne, pray for us.

Saint Roch, pray for us.

My shelf-life is about to expire as, even though I am less fatigued than I have been in the past few days, I am still under the weather with a bad cough, fever, and fatigue.

Thus, suffice it to say that is part twenty-three of this series of commentaries. Part five of "Boy, If Only Leo Knew" will appear tomorow, August 16, 2025, the Feast of Saint Joachim and, in some places, the Commemoration of Saint Roch. A commentary on President Donald John Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin should appear by Sunday or Monday.

I am sorry for the delay, but I have been very fatigued the past few days. Yesterday was the first day I did not find myself in a covid-like fog. (I do not know for sure if I do have that virus However, it sure seems similar to the three times I did have it.) Penance is better than ever in 2025.

A blessed Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all. 

Our Lady, Queen Assumed into Heaven, pray for us.

Today is the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She who was conceived without stain of Original Sin and who committed no Actual Sins in her life did not have to have her body undergo the corruption of the grave, although she truly died and was buried after her death.

Separated physically from her Divine Son after His Ascension into Heaven on Ascension Thursday, although she received Him in Holy Communion, Our Lady was Assumed body and soul into Heaven to plead for us with her Divine Son as the Queen of Heaven and of Earth, the Queen to whom every man must pledge his heart's oblation, the Queen whom every nation must honor publicly with Rosary Processions.

 Our Lady wants us to be in Heaven with her for all eternity. She wants our bodies to rise up incorrupt and glorious from the grave on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and Dead so that our bodies can be reunited with our souls for all eternity in the glory of Heaven.

We need to ask her to help us make such perfect reparation for our sins in this passing, mortal vale of tears that we will pay the debt of what we our for our sins now rather than in the fires of Purgatory. We need to ask her to help us to be serious about seeking sanctity as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

What are we waiting for?

Also available for reading on this feast day are: Three Sermons for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Father Francis X. Weninger, S.J. 

A blessed Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all!

Our Lady, Queen Assumed into Heaven, pray for us.
